I spent all day yesterday feeling excited about getting out again on a morning run.  That's not a feeling I've had in quite a while.  It's nice to feel the spark again.  I was a bit underdressed for my run today.  The closet monsters seem to have eaten all of my gloves, and I could have used a jacket.  But, the run was only five miles, so I survived.

I ran down 4800 to the river trail, over to Millrace Park, and up through the neighborhood to my house.  I thought it would be really dark on the trail, but the half-moon provided just enough light to see.  It was actually very pretty with the moonlight reflecting off of the water.

Now, I'm at home drinking peppermint hot chocolate!  Time to warm up. 

I'm looking forward to hearing from Jake and Andrea at tonight's LDR banquet.  Besides the fact that Teren and I get to go out without the kids.  It's time to remember what being an adult feels like!

I hope we don't disappoint! To be honest we've been kind of struggling to decide exactly what to talk about... I can't imagine anyone wants a training philosophy lecture! So I think that we're just going to tell our "stories" and hope that is interesting enough.
